I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

It may not be on the mountain heightOr over the stormy sea,It may not be at the battle’s frontMy Lord will have need of me.But if, by a still, small voice he callsTo paths that I do not know,I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine:I’ll go where you want me to go.

I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,Over mountain or plain or sea;I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;I’ll be what you want me to be.

Perhaps today there are loving wordsWhich Jesus would have me speak;There may be now in the paths of sinSome wand’rer whom I should seek.O Savior, if thou wilt be my guide,Tho dark and rugged the way,My voice shall echo the message sweet:I’ll say what you want me to say.

I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,Over mountain or plain or sea;I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;I’ll be what you want me to be.

There’s surely somewhere a lowly placeIn earth’s harvest fields so wideWhere I may labor through life’s short dayFor Jesus, the Crucified.So trusting my all to thy tender care,And knowing thou lovest me,I’ll do thy will with a heart sincere:I’ll be what you want me to be.

I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,Over mountain or plain or sea;I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;I’ll be what you want me to be.
